Chapter 33
She came out with a bulging belly and said, "Uncle, hurry up, if you go too late there will be no meat."
Chen Qingyi and Chen Shengnan ran in the front, and Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingshu pulled Chen Changhai on the left and right.
Chen Qingli and Chen Qingzhi came last.
Forming an encirclement.
The state-owned restaurant was almost full at this time. Chen Qingyi was quick-eyed and quickly occupied a large table.
"Who will come with me to order food?"
She looked so casual that if you didn't know her you would think she was treating us.
Chen Shengnan and his friends had never been here before, and they didn't know what to do with their hands and feet, and kept shaking their heads.
Chen Qingli whispered, "We can eat anything."
Chen Qingshu: "Meat!!!"
"Okay!" Chen Qingyi quickly walked to the window and looked at today's blackboard.
Oh my, oh my, how lucky I am today that there are so many delicious foods.
With curved eyebrows, she said, "Sister, give me one portion of braised crucian carp and two portions of braised pork.
A serving of chicken stewed with mushrooms, shredded pork with green peppers, homemade tofu, and braised eggplant.
The staple food is seven bowls of shredded pork noodles and ten steamed buns made of two-grain flour.
Well, that’s it for now!
Oh, do you have soda? Give me seven bottles. Also, I want large portions of food."
Her generous gesture shocked the entire state-owned hotel.
Everyone looked over at once.
Chen Qingyi was thick-skinned. She just looked, it wouldn't hurt her to look. She smiled and waved at the third brother:
"Hurry and bring uncle here."
"Here it comes!" Chen Qingfeng was drooling.
Only Chen Changhai: legs weak!
The corners of his mouth pulled hard, "Xiaoyi, this is so much, can we finish it?
Do you want to order a few more?"
"We can finish it." Before Chen Qingyi could say anything, Chen Qingfeng interrupted.
"A little more is fine!"
Hearing this, Chen Changhai's forehead broke out in sweat, for he was afraid that Chen Qingyi would order again.
Chen Qingyi smiled and explained as if she didn't see it, "Uncle, the extra portion of braised pork is for grandpa and grandma to take back.
I have brought my lunch box.
Took two.
Last time you went home to borrow money, you promised to treat me to a meal.
You also said that the old aunt felt sorry for grandma and worried about her children all her life, but she didn't get to enjoy anything good.
My eyes are filled with tears of heartache!
By the way, before I came here, grandma told me to take back the cloth that my aunt bought for me."
Mrs. Chen, who was having dinner at home: ...Ah Qiu!!
Chen Qingfeng's eyes widened in disbelief, "What the hell? Did the old lady say that?
Crying?
Did you buy cloth?
Why don’t I believe it?
Even my old aunt doesn't like to go back to her husband's house during the New Year, she only knows how to ask for things, can she really have such a heart?"
"To borrow money."
A plump, white lady who was also eating there couldn't help herself.
"It's the same as my daughter-in-law. Once she gets the money, she's no longer her!
The son is also a complete idiot. He forgot his mother after getting married.
Now I think it's okay, I can't rely on anyone, I have money and I can buy whatever I want to eat."
He showed off his braised pork in a bold manner.
Many people in the hotel agreed and talked about it, sharing the gossip they knew.
Chen Qingfeng suddenly understood, as if he had just realized it.
She looked at Chen Changhai, whose face was slightly red, with a reproachful look.
Just opened my mouth...
"Comrade, how much is it? Please calculate it for me!" Chen Changhai hurriedly said to the waiter.
He finally realized that if he wasn't treated to this meal, he wouldn't have a good life.
The commune was so small that even the smallest thing would become known to everyone.
He still has some shame!
Unfortunately, he didn't notice the gossiping lights of his fellow workshop workers in the corner.
The waiter ate a mouthful of melon, and after imagining it, he was very satisfied, "A large portion of braised pork is 80 cents, 7 taels of meat tickets.
Braised crucian carp is 23 cents.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms is 58 cents.
Shredded pork with green peppers costs three cents, and three or two meat tickets.
Adding regular tofu is 15 cents, and would you like 200g or 400g of shredded pork noodles?
"Four taels." Chen Qingyi and Chen Qingfeng said in unison.
Chen Changhai just opened his mouth: ...Why do I have to pay my salary today?!
"A bowl costs 4 liang of grain coupons, no meat coupons, 45 cents.
A steamed bun made of two liang of flour cost two liang of food coupons and five cents each.
Three points for soda.”
After a quick calculation, he finally spent six yuan and seventy-two cents, which was three pounds and eight ounces of food coupons.
One pound and nine ounces of meat tickets.
"I, I don't have that many prostitutes!" Chen Changhai felt embarrassed for the first time.
Being stared at by everyone.
I feel so frustrated that I want to explode.
"Just one pound."
Chen Qingyi knew that he was not lying, and the workers indeed only received one pound of meat tickets per month.
but……
"Auntie, you've received your salary, right?" She had a small suggestion.
Chen Changhai: “…”
Finally I got to eat it. After all, he was planning to buy a house today, so I bought some meat to thank my father-in-law!
Chen Qingfeng dipped the steamed buns into the broth and stuffed his cheeks with it until they were bulging: "It smells so good!
This is my first time eating braised pork, uncle, you workers have it easy.”
"Who says it isn't?"
Chen Qingshu also stuttered a little unclearly.
"On such a nice day, you still come home to steal our eggs and food!"
cheeky.
Chen Changhai: ...I can bear it!
People around pricked up their ears!
"The key is that there's still meat!" Chen Shengnan took a sip of his drink and felt so comfortable.
"We've raised a pig for two years, and it only weighs a little over 200 kilograms. Apart from the one we hand over to the government, it's not enough for us to eat.
Every year when we slaughter pigs, my uncle comes with his family.
And he even ate and took it.
You don’t usually see my aunt and my cousins.”
He's so arrogant, he tells everything out loud and has no control over his mouth.
Chen Changhai was close to going berserk.
Blushing face and thick neck.
Chen Qingzhi quickly swallowed the fish in her mouth and said more: "Fifty yuan..."
"You guys eat, uncle is full and will go to work first." Chen Changhai raised his voice unconsciously.
I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to have a heart attack if I keep listening to it.
He really didn't expect that these children would tell about his family's dirty deeds in public.
They are a family.
Don't you know that family disgrace should not be made public?
If this gets out, how can he live his life?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He was about to leave when the mean-spirited Chen Qingyi stopped him:
"Uncle, cloth!"
Chen Changhai's face turned green and red, and then red and green. He could no longer pretend.
He glared at his nephews and nieces who were talking nonsense, and his face was rubbed hard again today.
He threw away the cloth coupons and hurried away.
Glancing at the four-foot cloth coupons on the table, Chen Qingyi happily stuffed her mouth with meat.
I even ate two more noodles.
It’s great not to spend your own money.
Worker: What a huge amount of information!
He curled his lips, not expecting that Chen Changhai and his wife, who were usually so generous, would be such people.
It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
I will talk to my wife when I get home and tell her to have less contact with people like this.
Not long after that, Chen Changhai's story spread back to the brigade from the commune.
I heard that the couple had a big fight over this.
At this time, the six people were walking home with bulging bellies.
: Prices vary from place to place. For example, there may be no shortage of meat in the grassland.
The price is lower than this.
This price is comprehensive.
I found it online, it's about the same.
Also, I heard from the elders at home that the state-owned restaurant in the commune was actually very poor and did not serve meat.
It’s just vegetarian dishes and vegetarian noodles.
